Ye
Trademarked stuff is taken very seriously. Because if it isn't then I can just steal the Work 2 Game branding and use it to scam people for money. Obviously would never do that lol. But that's the danger if copyright wasn't a thing.
Hold up, I though this picture was fake. You telling me this is actually real?
That said in this case I think taking it down and a warning is enough
I think it was funny and very silly. But sad if they do get in trouble for it but they went to far.
Seems like a non issue. The FF community needs 6.2 already.
they also advertised for paid ERP which is in a sense illlegal.
anyone sending messages against this in the discord the server is sending back fake trojans to scare people away from complaining.
SOMEBODIES, GETTING SUED!….
This has been such a crazy day. They have taken it down already supposedly
i cant imagine this goes beyond a C&D
Iâm sorry but they allow this NSFW crap in game⊠whatâs the difference?
More, I need more thumbs to like this MORE!
They are lucky if all they get is a warning and a C&D
Brian if i take your and chri's faces and put it on bikini models while using your W2G brand and buy a few posters around texas… would you sue me?
Itâs not really about the money or the free publicity but about possible trademark infringement. If SquareEnix ignores the billboard it could set a precedent for other individuals to use their brand and âproductâ without consequences. On the other hand, it is fairly obvious this isnât a SquareEnix action and thereâs no intent to make money out of this âeventâ. itâs unlikely any legal action will cost the possible plaintiff a great deal of money and as several other people mentioned, itâs possible SquareEnix will âsimplyâ order a cease and desist (C&D). There is however, the small possibility of a âmoral issueâ. An NSFW (not safe for work) event could be conceived as offensive for SquareEnixâs image. But thatâs even more unlikely than an actual lawsuit. Still, very risky move on this fan. đ
it's actually real… O_O
I'm sure LegalEagle's seen crazier stuff than this in his career but the thought of him having to analyze this particular case still cracks me up. đ€Ł
This is pure R moment
Who thought this was a good idea đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I follow some of the DJâs on that billboard. Went to their discords and they had no idea about these billboards and are freaking out that they might get banned or worse because their names were tied to this.
These DJâs are a lot of fun and travel all around the FF community playing shows would be a real shame if they get in trouble because this FC or whoever put this billboard up.
